The lovely Jolie Holland is playing tonight here in town, along with (the even lovelier?) Bosque Brown. Great bill, perfect venue, highly recommended, etc. Why was the newest Jolie Holland record so overlooked by most people (myself included) in blog-land? It's totally worth a second listen:

p.s. I'd like to thank the eight or so anonymous commenters who were so genuinely concerned about my recent trip to L.A. I can assure you there was no selling out going on, as that would imply that I am obligated to give something in return. For anyone that knows me, it's obvious that would never happen. Full disclosure after the jump, you nosy bastards...I got to meet Lady Sov at the Zune Party. I'm a total sellout (photo)

So, Microsoft flew me (along with a few other bloggers) out to L.A. for the Zune launch party. The sole reason we were involved at all was that the Microsoft dudes wanted our input. We are/were under NO obligation to mention the damn thing at all here on our stupid little blogs. I told them my honest opinion about the player, and that I wouldn't be buying one or recommending that my readers buy one. Hopefully they'll go back to the drawing board and work out the obvious kinks that have already been pointed out in real journalistic outlets like the New York Times and Forbes. If you snarky little anonymous kids think I'd ever allow anything other than my own taste to dictate the content on my site, you're sorely mistaken. To be completely honest, I spent maybe an hour of my four day trip talking about the Zune. The rest was spent hanging with my friends, wandering in awe around Amoeba, and eating at In-n-Out. If the handful of you that care still have any unanswered questions, feel free to email me anytime before jumping to conclusions.

Boy, I'm sure glad you clarified for me. I had heard you went out and were selling the rights to your life story to Universal Artists so that Tom Cruise could play you in a not so closely based real life epic of GvB. With Samurai and guns included!

But now that I know it was for Microsoft, i'd have to say that you're walking the fine line of selling out... now to play my xbox 360, and listen to Neutral Milk Hotel

i saw jolie holland live a few years back and i could not believe how big her ass was. it was the fattest fucking ass on a little skinny white girl i have ever seen. did you see something similar or did she get rid of it?
